The Indonesian archipelago has a great history of being an important trade region since the seventh century, when the Srivijaya Kingdom started having economic exchange with China and India.

After three and a half centuries of Dutch colonialism, Indonesia secured its independence after World War II. Since then, Indonesia had to face challenges posed by natural disasters, corruption, separatism, a democratization process, and periods of rapid economic change.

Nowadays, Indonesia is Southeast Asia’s biggest economy and it is experiencing a great economic growth of around 6% annually and offers a lot of business opportunities for foreign investors.
